China has 5,000 years of culture.
All forms of government has been tried, experimented in China's long long history!
It was all under the guise of the Confucian Bureaucrat (discipline fellows - from frugal living, to humble demeanour) and their retired happy compatriots the Taoist Gentleman (inadvertantly a large bunch of middle class fellows, who loves to observe, analyse and do manipulation to benefit society)

After the Opium war, which saw the entry of VESTED INTEREST kongfu by the British Empire!
China again experience all kind of experimental, relearning everything that the many hundreds of "school of thought" has long discussed in ancient times!

(the British introduced Vested Interest, Critical component and Industrial revolution to the world!) - amazing Chap! Those British Fellows.....if they did not arrive in Hong Kong, China would still be stuck in Zen or Lamaist kongfu. (stagnant! So, rejoice for the benefits, and remember the hurt of being backward, and not bear malice at the smart British Fellows!)
